I think its hilarious the the overweight person in the Globe picture is a police officer. Overall, this is another one of those things in Boston that makes the city look like it is the personal playground of Mayor Menino. Bike safety and conditions have been an issue in this city for years, with no action. Just recently, Hizzonor gets a bike and has been tooling around his neighborhood ... so all of a sudden bike issues are a big deal? So much for responding to consitituents. Sorry for the quasi-political rant. I won't be offended if it gets moved. The real point is that improving conditions for bicyclists is a good thing. It helps bicyclists, it helps reduce traffic by turning drivers (or T-riders) into cyclists, maybe it will help to reduce potholes for all road users ... |

They're gonna have to come up with an automatic system that thoroughly washes and disinfects the showers at least 10 times after every use before people will even think about getting into a public shower.

It would need to burn itself down and regenerate itself for me to even consider it.

Biking sucks.
If you really want to lose weight, go for a jog or long walk. You get prostate cancer. ( I know we all will when we're 80, but i'd rather not have to pee every 20 minutes when I turn 35 thank you) Cars are faster. The list goes on and on. |

Huh, biking causes prostate cancer?
Sometimes bikes are faster. I can often get from Davis Square to the North End on a bicycle without once coming to a full stop. That's impossible in a car. |

If you're a Boston resident, biking is the way to go. I could get from my apt in JP to basically anywhere in Boston/Cambridge in under 30 minutes. No traffic or parking worries, no car insurance, minimal maintenance costs.

It is. Even with the seats designed to limit pressure on your ass. |

When you get a chance I'd like to find out if you're more concerned that a bike seat will give you prostate cancer or that it will turn you gay. |
